One slice, two slices, three slices or more- pizza has become more than just a weekend ‘I-deserve-this’ cheat meal but rather a way of life.

The BEST thing about pizzas is that they can come in different shapes, sizes, forms and include a variety of fresh ingredients. Luckily, we’re spoilt for choice in the city- with options from gourmet, authentic Italian-made pizzas to fully vegan versions, the list is practically endless.

Mind you, there are LOADS of excellent pizzerias in Dubai, but we had to narrow this list down to the peoples’ choice.

So without further ado, we present you with the top 10 BEST pizza spots in Dubai:

1. Pitfire Pizza

According to our senior writer, Casey, Pitfire is..

“This is the best pizza in Dubai and don’t let anyone tell you any different’. Pizzas done right are all about a good base, and sauce to cheese to topping ratio. If there was a science formula to figuring it out, Pitfire would be top of the class for figuring it out.”

And as per the results from all our social media polls, it seems the public love Pitfire too.

Who could blame ’em?
